Summary: Prostate cancer is common in men, and oxidative stress caused by free radicals and reactive oxygen species could be a contributing factor. The superoxide dismutase family plays a crucial role in removing oxygen-derived reactive oxygen species, and increased superoxide dismutase activity may have a protective effect against prostate cancer. Understanding the role of superoxide dismutase in radioresistance has led to the development of interventions targeting the NF-kappa B pathway for prostate cancer treatment.

Summary: The study demonstrated that aspirin treatment can effectively improve renal failure and pathological changes induced by preeclampsia, attenuating tubular injury and reducing kidney inflammation. It also suppresses renal cell apoptosis and oxidative stress. The mechanism involves inhibition of the WNT5A/NF-kappa B signaling pathway.

Summary: This study investigated the polyphenolic profile of Quercus coccinea (QC) leaves and assessed the protective activity of its 80% aqueous methanol extract (AME) against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury (ALI). The results showed that the AME of QC exhibited significant anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities, and protected against LPS-induced ALI through the downregulation of the TLR4/MyD88 pathway.

Summary: Gas explosions are a common cause of traumatic brain injury in coal miners. This study investigated the effects of curcumin on gas explosion-induced brain injury in rats. The results showed that curcumin treatment improved histological abnormalities, mitochondrial structure, and neuroinflammatory signaling molecules in the brain tissue. Curcumin also reshaped the gut microbiota and reduced serum lipopolysaccharide levels, showing potential therapeutic effects.

Summary: This study investigated the anti-inflammatory mechanism of Schisandrin B (Sch B) in macrophages and an animal model of acute lung injury (ALI) and found that Sch B directly binds to MyD88 to regulate inflammatory responses and inhibit the expression of inflammatory factors. The study suggests that Sch B has therapeutic potential for ALI and other MyD88-dependent inflammatory diseases.

Summary: Copper is a vital mineral for normal physiological processes, including cardiovascular systems. However, copper-induced cell death has been recognized as an important factor in the pathogenesis and progression of cardiovascular disease. Understanding the mechanisms of copper-induced cell death can help improve cardiovascular disease management. This review explores the relationship between copper homeostasis and pathways related to copper-induced cell death in cardiovascular disease, as well as therapeutic strategies.

Summary: In this study, it was found that semaglutide alleviates acute lung injury (ALI) induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) by inhibiting the HDAC5/NF-κB signaling pathway. Both in vivo and in vitro experiments demonstrated that semaglutide reduces pulmonary injury, inflammation, and apoptosis. These findings suggest that semaglutide may be a potential therapeutic drug for ALI.

Summary: The study investigated the protective effect of Fingolimod in a rat model of acute lung injury induced by LPS, showing inhibition of NF-kappa B activation, reduction of inflammatory cytokines, and improvement in lung tissue injury. These results suggest a promising therapeutic potential for Fingolimod in LPS-induced ALI by regulating the inflammatory pathway and barrier dysfunction of alveolar capillaries.
